HMRC-compliant VAT invoicing, with your VAT registration number included
Invoices that follow HMRC's VAT invoice requirements without extra setup.
HMRC expects UK VAT invoices to show your VAT registration number, a unique sequential invoice number, the time of supply, and the applicable rate — standard, reduced, or zero — per line item. StashBill applies the right rate and formats the invoice to what HMRC expects once your VAT number is on file.
